ORIGINAL POST

Denison’s phone vendor will be distributing a firmware update to all Denison Cisco IP phones on Sunday 10/16/2022 between 4:00pm and 8:00pm. Once the firmware update is received, each Cisco phone will reboot once and process the update and then return to its normal resting state within 2 minutes. If you are on a call, the firmware update will not begin until you complete your call.

If you experience any phone issues, please contact the ITS Service Desk at servicedesk@denison.edu or 740-587-6395.

If you see an account or password error when signing into office365.denison.edu with your Denison email address and password to download and install Microsoft Office, please see this TOPdesk article for instructions on how to address the issue.

If you have further questions or problems, please contact the ITS Service Desk at servicedesk@denison.edu or 740-587-6395.

If you haven’t already visited joinwifi.denison.edu to connect to eduroam using SecureW2 on your computer, phone, or tablet, while on-campus please take a few minutes to do so.

Why? SecureW2 is the secure way to connect to eduroam. The former way of connecting to eduroam with your email address and password is being retired later this semester. To avoid any interruption to your eduroam connection and improve your WiFi security, please connect using SecureW2 now!

How? Follow the steps below:

1. Select the Denison-JoinWiFi network
2. Open a web browser (on an iPhone/iPad, use Safari) and go to joinwifi.denison.edu 
3. Follow the on-screen prompts

For detailed instructions, see the appropriate guide: Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Chrome.

Denison recently renewed its agreement with Adobe for Adobe Creative Cloud. With the new agreement, Denison Adobe Creative Cloud named license holders now have…

• Access to Adobe Stock which includes a collection of templates along with Adobe Stock standard images with enhanced licensing permissions.
• 100GB of Creative Cloud storage space instead of 20GB.

Denison faculty and staff who had an Adobe Creative Cloud named license assigned under the prior Adobe agreement have been assigned a license under the new agreement. If you have a named license assigned, you will have received an email from “notifications@adobe.com” titled “Get Started with All Apps – Pro Edition – EDU” on 8/6/2022 notifying you of your license assignment. That is a legitimate email.

If you did not receive an email from notifications@adobe.com and would like to request an Adobe Creative Cloud named license, please visit the MyDenison Creative Cloud page and complete the linked request form. Please note that named licenses are available to faculty and staff only. Students may use Adobe Creative Cloud applications on any Denison lab computer, or on departmental student workstations where it has been installed, by signing in with the “Sign in with Google” option and their Denison email address.

If you have any questions about Adobe Creative Cloud, please contact the ITS Service Desk at servicedesk@denison.edu or schedule a Client Success technology consultation.
